congrats if you made it through all those. haha

wait for it......

Wow...has it really been almost 2 months since I blogged?!?!? I feel like Lola!! :o)
So much as happened!!!

First of all, we've now learned a valuable lesson........
Apparantly it's a good idea to keep hydrated and make sure you are getting enough sleep....otherwise you wake up on your bathroom floor, completely disoriented and covered in Listerine....not sure exactly how you got there. I know it sounds like I just drank too much, but in fact, it was quite the opposite.
Most of you that read my bloggings already know about the latest 'incident' in my life, but for those of you that don't, here's the story in limerick form:

There once was a girl named LaRelle
Who woke up and realized she fell
She tried to stand up.....

oh screw it.

Most of you know the story anyways....for those that don't, here's the Reader's Digest version: I fainted. Hillary had to take me to the ER. (my first time ever there) They think I was dehydrated, stressed out and overall exhausted. I missed almost 2 weeks of work because Kaiser sucks ass and wouldn't get me my authorization to return to work even though I was ok after a few days.
If you want more details feel free to email/text/call/send a message behind a plane going by my house.....

Other goings ons:
My birthday celebrations!! Hillary and Paul got tickets to see my favorite band, Keane, in concert!! They were playing in LA on my birthday. Can't get much better than that. Here's a picture from that night:


Keane is awesome in concert!! Seen them 3 times now.
The next night Larilyn took me to see Light In the Piazza at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. It was really good too!! I have always loved the music from it and it was really cool to finally see it live. =)

Possibly the biggest event of the last couple months....my little brother getting married!!!
I wasn't able to make it to the actual wedding up in Utah on the 9th....but they had a reception down here in California this last Saturday and I have TONS of pictures. I will just share a few now and will post a bunch more in the next couple of days....I need to sleep!!!

The morning of the reception....I look ridiculously tired already....and we haven't even started yet

Apparantly Hillary had already had her coffee :o)
and apparantly her spinach....now she's climbing trees.


We were in charge of putting lights up in all the trees. I'll put more pictures of the trees and decorations up later.

putting up the signs on the road:

Bet you'll never guess what else I was in charge of........music you say? you got it. Here's me and my brother Braden setting up my computer. We set it up to play out the upstairs window overlooking the reception area. Worked out quite nicely.
And then here's some 'after' pictures....once we were all dressed up.
GaHillary's super cute dress
I think I look lame in this picture, but you can see the whole ensemble anyways.....

And I suppose I should put up at least one picture of the bride and groom now.
My brother Devin and new sister Heather!! =) Aren't they so cute it's disgusting?? haha


ok, seriously, I need to get some sleep now. (see the beginning of this post if you don't get why) I promise to post a lot more pictures in the next few days =)
